Blues Babe

Editorial Reviews
Billy Thinnes- Mr. Thinnes is a freelance writer whose work has appeared on websites like jambase.com and digitalcity.com/neworleans.
This solid collection of original material should certainly punch Olga’s ticket as a debutante at the roots rock ball.

Jim Beam® Bourbon , Benefiting Emerging Artist in Music, October 2002
Olga breaths another generation of life into this deep-south tradition of setting the indescribable to a sultry sound.

Album Description
Blues Babe is the sparse yet fulfilling work of a low-fi princess. Recorded by Olga in her New Orleans bedroom, the album pulls from a bag of influences collected across the rural Mississippi Delta with occasional pit-stops into the metropolitan areas of Memphis and Nashville.

Great gems from musicals that dissapeared.......2004-11-30

Songs from 1987's "Smile" make this well worth the price. The previously unreleased material from the late, great Howard Ashman deserves to have it's moment in the spotlight.

Also, there's Judy Kuhn's beautiful performance on "Starfish", Christine Baranski's vampy turn on "Sherry".

Finally, there's" New Words" from "One, Two, Three, Four, Five". This show has been restaged, by small theatre groups, under the title "History Loves Company". "New Words" is by far the best number of this show and Liz Callaway's voice fills with love as she sings this lullaby.

For a consummate musical theatre fan who's heard it all, this disc is a refreshing look at what has been lost over the years.

some gold mixed with dross.......2003-12-21

Some of these songs desrve to be unsung. But then you get a showstopper like Sherry and you wonder how could this show have flopped? That number alone makes this cd worth purchasing.I also enjoyed Marvin Hamlisch's toe tapping title song - Smile.There are also a few other lovely melodies which makes this cd a nice addition to a Broadway collection.

Wonderful Band, Decent Collection.......2005-12-18

The Mississippi Sheiks are the missing link, so to speak, between what we now know as Delta Blues and traditional rural black stringband music. Their songs have been recorded by everyone from the Camp Creek Boys to Bob Wills to the Grateful Dead (Stop and Listen Blues is the predecessor to Smokestack Lightnin').

Although our romantic notions of early Delta blues want to make Robert Johnson the hero of this time period in American music, Johnson was actually quite unpopular in his time. The Sheiks were the reigning heroes and should be remembered as such.

Fiddle players should listen carefully to this record, as Lonnie Chatmon uses several odd cross-tunings that aren't common in any fiddle repertoire. Guitar players should simply sit in awe at Bo Chatmon's (aka Bo Carter's) guitar playing on the selected tracks where he sits in, and marvel at the sparse delicacy of Walter Vinson's guitar playing.

The Mississippi Sheiks were truly their own chapter in American music history, there was no other band quite like them nor will there ever be. This record is a fairly nice representation of them. I do regret that the original Stop and Listen blues was not included, but the less charming Stop and Listen #2 (the sequel, so to speak) was, instead. If you can, get a collection with Stop and Listen Blues on it (the original one!).

Thank goodness Taj Majal recorded Algia Mae. Her lyrics are natural, her guitar and banjo are as good a piece of solo musicianship as any other blues artist ever layed down. I've bought extra copies for many friends.......... they are now a lot more happy with their lives.

A LONG LOST GEM BY GUITAR GREAT ROY BUCHANAN.......2003-04-16

This CD is one of the long lost gems by the legendary great master of the guitar Roy Buchanan. My Babe /ERA is not hard to
find anymore thanks to K-Tel International who are distributing the killer CD. Released in '80 originally on Waterhouse
Records, this material shows Roy covering once again a vast musical landscape. There's some Funk, instrumental Blues, Rock
and Ballads only the way this guitar genius could interpret the them. Roy gives the Little Walter classic "My Babe" a searing

A TOTALLY LOST GEM BY THE MASTER OF THE TELECASTER!.......2003-04-16

workout and his beautiful instrumental of "Secret Love" touches into the depths of this torched artists soul. Nobody who ever
picked up guitar in the limelight speaks the guitar vocabulary like this guy! Other show stoppers include two more
instrumentals by him. "My Sonata" is just marvelous and haunting at the same time and the Blues "Blues For Gary" is breath
taking! He leaves no stone unturned! Throughout these recordings he is backed by a variety of drummers (3) and keysman &
vocalist Paul Jacobs along with bassist Gordon Johnson on all cuts. A must for a real guitar lover!
